BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEET.
ING. =

The County Clerk has called meet
ing of the Board of County Supervisors,
to meet at the Court House, on Mon
day, Feb. I, 1887. The Board having
met on the 14th ult., to elect County
Treasurer, failed to comply with the
requirements of the law, therefore the
proceedings on that day were null and
void. The Board on Monday next will
begin de nooo, and proceed to the BUSH
ness before it, without reference to it's
former action. The candidacy for
County Treasurer is now open, and the
opportunity for presenting names is in
order. The friends Of Capt. Frantz
desire us to again present his name as
candidate. Those who think he has
been amply compensated for the loss
Of an arm in the service Of his country,
disabling him from most kinds of
manual labor during his life, will in
sist the pension granted him, and the
Office to which he was appointed ought
to satisfy him. Where is the able
bodied, healthy man who would con-
sent to the amputation Of one of his
arms and suffer the Inconvenience of
such disability during his natural life,
for the consideration of a pension, and
the profit for a number of years of a
not large-paying post office? Fifteen
and twenty years ago the man who
should have said the time was coming
when too much would be done for the
Union, soldiers would have been de-
clared devoid of patriotism. 1t is
gratifying to know that the present
national Congress has given expression
that more ought to be done for soldiers
and their dependent relatives. The
young man whom the Board wished
to elect is worthy citizen, and moth
ing will be said in this paper rejecting
unfayorably to his reputation. He
possesses the needful qualifications; he
has good situation as assistant cashier
in bank. There are men in this city
and in the country we'll educated, and
for years have had m established rep
utation for honesty and integrity, but
who now have no paying business and
would be glad of the moderate compen-
sation afforded by the Office of County
Treasurer. The question is heard
asked, Why should men who in past
years have rendered the community
service be passed over by those who
have a record yet to maker" These
remarks do not reflect on the estimable
young candidate who has been promi-
nently brought to notice. nor what
is here said inten ded in any way, to
dictate the Board of Supervisors as to
their action. 1t is simply an express
sion of the voice of portion of the
people, who at all proper times have
legitimate right to be heard.

We cheerfully give place to a com.
munication in this paper, signed by
zone of the People" Our criticisms
on Senator Van Wyek, of Nebraska,
in last weeks paper, whether right OF
wrong, were based on the conceded
fact, that politically he is an uncertain
factor in the United States Senate.
But few measures of Importance are
now carried through the Senate. unless
by the united action Of the great par
ties. The Republicans in the Senate
need to know the members who can be
relied upon to carry Republican
measure especially as that body is
nearly balanced politically. Senator
Van Wyck fora considerable tine past
has been counted doubtful, and there
has often been much perplexing spec
ulation as to how he will vote on a
given question.

The Tucker Edmunds Mormon bill,
which has been discussed in both
houses Of Congress. draws the cords
tightly about the system of polyganly,
and, it would seem, must crush out the
heather practice, if any law can, pro-
vided it is effectually enforced 1t
virtually takes the government of
Utah entirely out of The hands of the
Mormons. 1tproyides for the appoint
ment, by the President, of all judges
of the various courts, and vests in the
Governor the appointment Of al JUS
tees of the peace, sheriffs, constables
and other county and district officers,
and deprives territorial courts of pow
er to decide cases of divorce.
The bill also makes the lawful hus-
band or wife of person accused of
polygamy competent witness against
the accused, and provides for the regis
tration of all marriages, DISTINGUISHES
all polygamists, and requires test
oath of all voters that they will obey
the laws of the United States, and
abolishes woman suffrage. Polygamy
is declared a felony and severe penal
ties are prescribed. The act dissolves
the corporations known as the Church
Of the Latter Day Saints and the Per-
petual Emigration Fund Company, and
annuls all laws for the organization Of
the militia of the Territory, and the
celebrated Nouvoo Legion" thereby
making any overt act committed by

Those who supposed that the decis-

AN ANARCHIST PLOT.

An extensive plot has been discover

go, but extending widely in other
parts of the country. 1t was no less
than purpose to construct tunnel
under the Jail where the criminals are
confined. The scheme contemplated
the blowing up of the Jail, also other
buildings in the block. One Of the
proposed acts of the conspiracy was
the destruction of the water works by
dynamite, the explosion of which was
to be the signal for burning the city.
II this be true, anarchists in Jail and
out of Jail are the vilest enemies of
the country.

We give considerable space in our
paper to-day, to the address of Rev
James M. Cleary, of this city, before
the State Convention of Charities and
Correction, at Madison. The distin-

evidence of the estimation in which
the Rev, speaker is held, and his well
known reputation in this vicinity will
doubtless induce a careful reading.
The matters discussed are of great i'm
